2020-10-16mm/memory_hotplug: mark pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE while onlining memoryDavid Hildenbrand1-1/+1
Currently, it can happen that pages are allocated (and freed) via the buddy before we finished basic memory onlining. For example, pages are exposed to the buddy and can be allocated before we actually mark the sections online. Allocated pages could suddenly fail pfn_to_online_page() checks. We had similar issues with pcp handling, when pages are allocated+freed before we reach zone_pcp_update() in online_pages() [1]. Instead, mark all pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE, such that allocations are impossible. Once done with the heavy lifting, use undo_isolate_page_range() to move the pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE freelist, marking them ready for allocation. Similar to offline_pages(), we have to manually adjust zone->nr_isolate_pageblock.

2020-09-01dma-contiguous: provide the ability to reserve per-numa CMABarry Song1-1/+2
Right now, drivers like ARM SMMU are using dma_alloc_coherent() to get coherent DMA buffers to save their command queues and page tables. As there is only one default CMA in the whole system, SMMUs on nodes other than node0 will get remote memory. This leads to significant latency. This patch provides per-numa CMA so that drivers like SMMU can get local memory. Tests show localizing CMA can decrease dma_unmap latency much. For instance, before this patch, SMMU on node2 has to wait for more than 560ns for the completion of CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this patch, it needs 240ns only. A positive side effect of this patch would be improving performance even further for those users who are worried about performance more than DMA security and use iommu.passthrough=1 to skip IOMMU. With local CMA, all drivers can get local coherent DMA buffers. Also, this patch changes the default CONFIG_CMA_AREAS to 19 in NUMA. As 1+CONFIG_CMA_AREAS should be quite enough for most servers on the market even they enable both hugetlb_cma and pernuma_cma. 2 numa nodes: 2(hugetlb) + 2(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 5 4 numa nodes: 4(hugetlb) + 4(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 9 8 numa nodes: 8(hugetlb) + 8(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 17 Signed-off-by: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2020-08-07mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()Mike Rapoport1-5/+1
After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function. Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

2020-06-04mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32bMichal Hocko1-0/+1
Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e2903c9 ("mm, memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone. While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other land mines hidden at other places. It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps. Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and requires a non trivial amount of work to fix. Robin said: "32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to.

2020-06-04mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCKDavid Hildenbrand1-0/+3
The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64, s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

2020-06-03mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap()Daniel Jordan1-3/+3
Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

2020-06-03mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP optionMike Rapoport1-3/+0
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

2020-06-02sparc32: mm: Disable SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUSWill Deacon1-0/+4
The SRMMU page-table allocator is not compatible with SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS for two major reasons: 1. Pages are allocated via memblock, and therefore the ptl is not cleared by prep_new_page(), which is expected by ptlock_init() 2. Multiple PTE tables can exist in a single page, causing them to share the same ptl and deadlock when attempting to take the same lock twice (e.g. as part of copy_page_range()).

2020-04-07mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in KconfigMaciej S. Szmigiero1-1/+117
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

2020-04-07mm: introduce Reported pagesAlexander Duyck1-0/+11
In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

2019-11-23mm/mmu_notifier: add an interval tree notifierJason Gunthorpe1-0/+1
Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs. 4 use an interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm) And the remaining 5 either don't use invalidate_range_start() or do some special thing with it. It turns out that building a correct scheme with an interval tree is pretty complicated, particularly if the use case is synchronizing against another thread doing get_user_pages(). Many of these implementations have various subtle and difficult to fix races. This approach puts the interval tree as common code at the top of the mmu notifier call tree and implements a shareable locking scheme. It includes: - An interval tree tracking VA ranges, with per-range callbacks - A read/write locking scheme for the interval tree that avoids sleeping in the notifier path (for OOM killer) - A sequence counter based collision-retry locking scheme to tell device page fault that a VA range is being concurrently invalidated. This is based on various ideas: - hmm accumulates invalidated VA ranges and releases them when all invalidates are done, via active_invalidate_ranges count. This approach avoids having to intersect the interval tree twice (as umem_odp does) at the potential cost of a longer device page fault. - kvm/umem_odp use a sequence counter to drive the collision retry, via invalidate_seq - a deferred work todo list on unlock scheme like RTNL, via deferred_list. This makes adding/removing interval tree members more deterministic - seqlock, except this version makes the seqlock idea multi-holder on the write side by protecting it with active_invalidate_ranges and a spinlock To minimize MM overhead when only the interval tree is being used, the entire SRCU and hlist overheads are dropped using some simple branches. Similarly the interval tree overhead is dropped when in hlist mode. The overhead from the mandatory spinlock is broadly the same as most of existing users which already had a lock (or two) of some sort on the invalidation path.

Add two utilities to 1) write-protect and 2) clean all ptes pointing into a range of an address space. The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory). The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults, typically on large accesses into small memory regions.

This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem filesystems. This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP via madvise, for example: madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE); We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs. Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests (see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections. The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped. An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this feature.

2019-09-24mm: remove quicklist page table cachesNicholas Piggin1-5/+0
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches". A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1]. I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to use generic versions of PTE allocation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com This patch (of 3): Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only used on ia64 and sh architectures. The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator behaviour for minor archs. Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page allocator if this is still so slow.

2019-07-16mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAPRobin Murphy1-3/+2
ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE is somewhat meaningless in itself, and combined with the long-out-of-date comment can lead to the impression than an architecture may just enable it (since __add_pages() now "comprehends device memory" for itself) and expect things to work. In practice, however, ZONE_DEVICE users have little chance of functioning correctly without __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_DEVMAP, so let's clean that up the same way as ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and make it the proper dependency so the real situation is clearer.

Always build mm/gup.c so that we don't have to provide separate nommu stubs. Also merge the get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast stubs when HAVE_FAST_GUP into the main implementations, which will never call the fast path if HAVE_FAST_GUP is not set. This also ensures the new put_user_pages* helpers are available for nommu, as those are currently missing, which would create a problem as soon as we actually grew users for it.

2019-05-14mm/hmm: add ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE KconfigJérôme Glisse1-0/+16
Add 2 new Kconfig variables that are not used by anyone. I check that various make ARCH=somearch allmodconfig do work and do not complain. This new Kconfig needs to be added first so that device drivers that depend on HMM can be updated. Once drivers are updated then I can update the HMM Kconfig to depend on this new Kconfig in a followup patch. This is about solving Kconfig for HMM given that device driver are going through their own tree we want to avoid changing them from the mm tree. So plan is: 1 - Kernel release N add the new Kconfig to mm/Kconfig (this patch) 2 - Kernel release N+1 update driver to depend on new Kconfig ie stop using ARCH_HASH_HMM and start using ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE (one or the other or both depending on the driver) 3 - Kernel release N+2 remove ARCH_HASH_HMM and do final Kconfig update in mm/Kconfig Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190417211141.17580-1-jglisse@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Cc: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Cc: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig setting so there is no need to write it explicitly. Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same regardless of 'default n' being present or not: ... One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied). That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is redundant. ...
